I plan on going where you and Robb are going. Randy Dersham said folks have been camping at Blue River. Isn't that the common spot. I plan on leaving next Thursday. Keep me informed. When are you showing up?

Paradise or McKenzie Bridge are two Forest Service campgrounds just a little east of Blue River. These are off the highway and quiet. Both have great views of the McKenzie, cooking grates, tables, and vault toilets. To see about availability, call McKenzie Ranger District. Weather here on the McKenzie has been crappy, but it started sun shining yesterday, and supposed to be sunny all next week. Also, the river level is dropping, and should be at a great boating level.

Hello Campers, I am interested to see who is coming camping for the Festival. I am refinishing the interior of my boat and I hope to camp with a bunch of "Woodies". Past festivals and accompanying camping trips have been wonderful events. I think of them as Christmas, New Years Eve and Thanksgiving all rolled into one!

Looks like I too will camp there tonight. I have never refinished the inside of a drift boat. Once again I have learned another lesson. It takes more than five partial days to do so. I will bring my floatable boat prtially restored and share what it takes to remove finishes, at least those that Missouri River gumbo didn't. Lots of work done, more to do.

I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. I will drop my boat off at Finn Rock at about 7:30 AM and then head to the Lodge to help with parking.
